This portfolio was part of an exhibition celebrating 15 YEARS ABOVE GROUND. It consists of seven artists who were intrinsic in the development of the meanest, baddest, truest art form known as GRAFFITI. As Max Rens stated in a promotional catalogue of Graffiti artists:

'It doesn't take a lot to be overcome by Graffiti. Seldom did a new artistic expression find so many sympathizers in such an early stage of its development as was the case with Graffiti. It has seldom at the same time collided so fiercely with the authorities.'

New York saw the inception of a blazing, sizzling new artistic expression. The publicity for this art was free because of all the commotion, and as a result, impulses for imitation were given throughout the world.
